Webbs Creek, NSW 2775

A scattered, sparsely populated rural riverside suburb of Sydney in Hawkesbury City, lying on the western bank of the Hawkesbury River immediately across from Wisemans Ferry and about 77 km north-north-west of the Sydney CBD. It is bounded in the south-west by the Hawkesbury River and is traversed by the creek from which it is named — Webbs Creek, which joins the Hawkesbury a short distance south of where the Macdonald River enters. At the 2021 census it had just 55 residents (up from 44 in 2016), spread across a huge ~112 km² rural area that is 90% owner-occupied, with the predominant age group 60–69 — a quiet acreage and riverfront pocket of holiday houses and small farms rather than a conventional suburb. Its identity is tied to the Wisemans Ferry river crossing: the free Webbs Creek car ferry links the suburb to the Wisemans Ferry township and Old Northern Road, and guides describe the area as peaceful riverfront bush living popular with weekenders and anglers.

At a Glance

Transport

Webbs Creek has no railway station and no ferry wharf or regular bus route of its own. Car access is across the Hawkesbury River by the free 24-hour cable ferries: the Webbs Creek ferry crosses the river at the suburb (linking the Wisemans Ferry side at River Road to the St Albans Road side on the western bank), while the Wisemans Ferry crossing operates a little further north at the township — the roads into and through the suburb (Webbs Creek, St Albans, River and Chaseling roads) connect to Old Northern Road on the far bank. The only scheduled public transport is limited school-day bus services run by Baileys Bus Services (e.g. route S352) serving the Wisemans Ferry schools and valley stops. The nearest railway stations are at Windsor or Hornsby, roughly 40+ km away, so the suburb is car-dependent.

Schools

No school operates within Webbs Creek itself — Wikipedia lists no education facility in the suburb. The nearest public school is Wisemans Ferry Public School, a small NSW government primary (K–6, around 44 students) in the immediately adjacent suburb of Wisemans Ferry on the other side of the river, served by the S352 school bus (NSW Department of Education; gdp.com.au). Secondary students travel out of the valley to schools in the Windsor/Wisemans Ferry area — none sits in Webbs Creek or an immediately adjacent suburb.

Shopping & Amenities

Amenities are minimal: Webbs Creek is a scattered rural suburb with no shopping centre, supermarket or village retail — the nearest shops and services are in the Wisemans Ferry township across the river. The main commercial presence is Del Rio Riverside Resort, a long-established Hawkesbury riverside holiday park at Chaseling Road in Webbs Creek offering cabins, camping and river recreation.

Parks & Outdoors

The Hawkesbury River frontage is the suburb's defining feature: Webbs Creek sits on the river's western bank opposite Wisemans Ferry, with river views, fishing, boating, canoeing and swimming along the banks, and the quiet bush-lined Webbs Creek cutting through the suburb to its junction with the Hawkesbury. The Macdonald River enters the Hawkesbury just upstream, and the historic Wisemans Ferry crossing — operating since 1827 and giving access to convict-built Great North Road heritage walks and Dharug National Park on the far side — is the suburb's gateway. Away from the river it is rural bush and acreage holdings with scattered homes along unsealed and sealed valley roads.

Property Market

The median house price in Webbs Creek was around ~$1.14M — aggregator estimate of $1,140,000 (median house, Jul 2026, +14.1% over 12 months, per andreamonti.com.au) on very thin volumes; one tracker (propradar) reports a conflicting $520K, so treat any figure as indicative only (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. Webbs Creek is one of the thinnest property markets in the Sydney basin: about 55 residents and only ~63 properties across 112 km², so medians swing wildly with whichever acreage or riverfront holding happens to sell — aggregator estimates for the house median range from ~$520K (propradar) to ~$1.14M (andreamonti), and realestate.com.au only shows a '2-bed house' snapshot. Expect ~$1.0–1.6M for improved acreage and riverfront properties, with 90% of homes owner-occupied and a strong weekender/holiday component; river-flat flood risk and ferry-dependent access are the key caveats for buyers.

New Developments

Minimal — Webbs Creek is a rural Hawkesbury floodplain suburb of acreage holdings with no estate or subdivision development underway; the only notable commercial development is the long-established Del Rio Riverside Resort holiday park at Chaseling Road. Hawkesbury City's rural zoning and flood constraints keep new building to individual dwellings and farm/river-recreation structures.

Jobs & Local Economy

Local employment is negligible: river tourism and recreation (Del Rio Riverside Resort, fishing and boating operators), small-scale rural holdings, and home-based work — ABS data shows residents mostly in professional occupations and predominantly aged 60–69, a profile consistent with retirees, weekenders and remote workers rather than a local jobs base. Most employed residents commute out of the valley or work remotely.
